    Beautiful view, lots of outdoor space, beds for everyone, close to grocery and restaurants, really an ideal spot for a small family gathering. The one issue was the autistics of the house. It was impossible to be in the main area and not wake others, whether late at night or early morning. Regardless, we would absolutely stay again.

    I stayed here for 3 nights with my family (7 adults, 2 kids and a baby) and we couldn't have asked for a better property. It's exactly as pictured and described - spacious, clean, beautiful location. We were amazed at how well stocked the house is - probably the best stocked house I've ever rented. The property management company was also extremely easy to communicate with via email and text. We only used the paddleboat and kayaks once. Overall, we couldn't have asked for more!

    Had a wonderful time at Butler Bliss! The views from the house are amazing and the outside areas of the house are cozy and relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub, lake toys, and dock access. Just the right number of rooms for us. Would stay again for sure!

    This property was everything we wanted and then some. Great place for old friends to get together for a long weekend. This was our first time at Lake Norman and it will not be our last thanks to Butler Bliss!

    House was very clean and in a great location. Norman lake is wonderful and the family enjoyed swimming at the dock. Wouldn’t recommend for small children with the number/type of steps in the house and grounds. Dishwasher wasn’t working well, maybe filter is clogged but food was just redeposited and the land scape lighting (lower half out to the dock) was not lighting. It would help to have a copy of the quick start guide to understand the controls to the hot tub.

    What a great place to stay with a group of friends over the Fourth of July! The check in/out process was easy and straightforward. The boat rental was so accommodating even when we decided the day of check in to rent it for our stay. The house was exactly as expected and so clean. Really awesome property!
